What to check before you hire them
This is general advice about the kind of work Coalfire offers, not a judgement about the firm. Ask any firm the same questions and compare the answers.
- ISO 42001 is new, so ask what they have actually done
- The AI management system standard published recently and the pool of firms with real engagements behind them is small. Ask how many they have completed rather than how many they can talk about, and whether they are accredited to certify against it or only to advise.

How do I know I can trust a firm like this?
Judge the website the way you would judge a report they wrote for you, because it is the only sample of their work you get for free. Four things to look for:
Past work, in specifics. Named clients, case studies, redacted sample reports, published research, CVEs, conference talks. A security or compliance firm that has done the work has something to show for it. A site that describes the service at length and never once shows the output of it is the single biggest red flag on this list.
An address in every country they claim. If a firm says it operates somewhere, it should show a street address there, and named people working from it. A country page with no address, no staff and no local clients is a marketing page, not an office, and the work will be delivered from wherever they actually are. That is fine if they say so, and a problem if they do not.
Writing that could only be about them. Generic copy that could have its name swapped for any competitor's, or the flat and tireless prose of an unedited language model, usually means nobody senior has looked at the page. Ask yourself whether any of it commits them to anything a client could hold them to.
People with names. Who leads the work, what they have done before, and are they findable outside the site. Testing and audit work is done by individuals, and a firm that will not name them is asking you to buy a logo.
None of these is proof on its own. Two or more together is a reason to ask direct questions before you sign anything, and to compare at least three firms. There is a longer version, with what to ask for in each case, on how to vet a firm.
Is this firm recommended by ISO27K?
No. A listing is not a recommendation. Coalfire carries an unclaimed listing, and nothing on this page is an endorsement of the firm or a statement that it is the right one for you. Compare at least three.
Does Coalfire pay to appear here?
No. This is a free listing. Firms can pay for the Verified tier, and this one has not.
